Lettering to the Max

By Ivan Castro

Ivan Castro's new volume on the art of creating distinctive hand-drawn letterforms approaches the subject from a less technical perspective than its predessesor, The ABC of Custom Lettering. It's a beginner-friendly workbook that outlines the essential tools and materials required to get started and uses a wealth of lettering samples, sketches and drawings to explain, step by step, how to produce stylish design, crafts and DIY projects. The basic principles of lettering are covered in detail - from understanding letter structure and anatomy and giving letters shape and expression, to using them to create complex compositions - while practical exercises allow the reader not only to hone their newfound skills, but to experiement with and develop their own ideas. In-depth but accessible, this is a fun guide for budding lettering artists that also provides a wealth of information for experienced or professional designers.
